The money does not go to conservation.  Sorry to break your hearts.  Just for fun, find a law you consider confusing, call 2 or 3 wdfw offices and ask them for an answer.  I guarantee  you will get more than one answer.  I have done it many times.  Sometimes they even tell me it depends on the game wardens interpretation of the rule whether you will get a ticket or not."

Are you sure the money doesn't go to conservation?

Yes I am sure. Do you need Documentation?

Looks like it goes to conservation to me..... 

Thanks Troutdreamer.

If he's found guilty I'm positive the masses will say "slap on the wrist". If he's exonerated it's because he bought his way out. Either way nobody's going to be happy.

I know one thing.  It will be years before this is cleared up.  His plea for the 2007 incident was when, 2012?  I hope nobody is holding their breath for a conclusion to this one. 

Just think, we have until about 2019 to thrash this over and over and over and over....then the post trial/plea commentary!

So basically this thread has the potential to surpass the Bigfoot thread 

Blasphemy, outrageous,  NEVER!!!

   The last couple days seems the BF &TR thread have morphed into one   

[Dan-o]

No way......

This pitiful thread needs another 450 pages to reach epic Big Foot status.


I'll help......

So it sounds like this bull was shot legally, huh?

I think the whopping 3 participants on the Bigfoot thread will disagree with you.  Then they will sully your name for speaking so negatively about the Bigfoot thread being overcome. 
I think if you combine all the threads on this topic, it has already surpassed the BF thread.  I'm sure there is a contract out on me right now for saying this.

The BIGGIES will be hot on your six now, see glad I don't have that heat on me!

Dan-o I think you just need to worry about the last place you misplaced your biggie research CAMERAS buddy old pal, so get back to some SERIOUS research and leave this nonsense thread alone. JDHASTY has this thread FORAC!

Ok now where were we, the bullwinkle bull was shot legally huh.

My comments about everything on this board have been horribly misconstrued by the media, just like Trump. 
Now that I've cleared that up, all is well again.  Continue with the discussion if you will.

LOL!!! WOW! WDFW Told me so!! excellent.  Now they have more money to catch people without discovery passes.  The more money we give, the more the deer and elk will reproduce! Thank you for being a good little sheep in the flock and pointing that out for us.

kiticaashunter,
Where you present when the Bullwinkle Bull was shot?

I have provided more details than anyone else on this issue.  I have said all I can at this point. I hope the others that continue to ask me questions read this and stop asking for things I can't tell them. There will be a point this whole thing is over and the truth will be proven.

You've done nothing of the sort    The only thing you provided different was your claim of 2 phone calls to Grant. Otherwise the rest is all fluff and a poor attempt to deflect the real questions. It's like trying to talk with my x-wife 

You say you weren't there so why would you say you have said all you can at this point? And stop asking for things you cant tell them? If you really want to clear things up like you claimed you would answer questions directly.

Here is something to chew on.....
Several posts have been made stating that as hunters, we all need to support, stand up for, or give the benefit of the doubt to other hunters.
Like this one. (not trying to pick on you WApatriot, yours was easiest to find. Bearpaw has said it too)

Anyone who doesn't give hunters the benefit of the doubt is an anti hunter and doesn't belong on a hunting website they should join peta or glow.

I would normally agree with this statement(not WApatriots, the general one above the quote), but when it comes to this elk deal, I have to respectfully disagree and draw the line here.
As a group(hunters) we can not/should not, support very questionable behavior like this Bullwinkle mess.

Hunters as a group have discouraged the practice of displaying their kills on top of their vehicles for all to see. Why? Because it makes ALL hunters look bad to the public and anti-hunting crowd.
We have discouraged; the shooting of a sow with cubs, shooting of fawns & calfs, bloody messy kill photos, shooting ducks on the water, shooting turkeys on the roost, gut piles on the side of the road, extra long shots at animals(esp. archery), etc.
Again why are these things discouraged and looked down upon from our own group? They are all perfectly legal.
Why? Because they are unethical, unsportsman like, and make ALL hunters look bad.

So why should the actions of the Bullwinkle crew be any different?

Irregardless of whether or not permission to shoot was granted, it should have never happened. As JD has said multiple times, How could TR's group of "hunters" ever think this would end well?  Shooting a tame, well known & photographed bull elk that lived in a farmers field was a very dumb thing to do.

I personally can not support, or give the benefit of the doubt, to ANYONE who would do such a thing and call it hunting.  Nothing but greed working on this "Hunt"
